Here's David Lammy's speech to the House of Commons in full

Can I say to the Home Secretary that the relationship between this country and the West Indies and Caribbean is inextricable.

The first British ships arrived in the Carribbean in 1623. And despite slavery, despite colonisation, 25,000 Caribbeans served in first world war and second world war alongside British troops. When my parents and their generation arrived in this country under the Nationality act of 1948, they arrived here as BRitish citizens.

It is inhumane and cruel for so many of that windrush generation to have suffered so long in this condition, and for the secretary of state only to have made a statement today on this issue.

Can she explain how many have been deported? She suggested earlier that she would ask the high commissioners. It is her department that has deported them. She should know the number.

Can she tell the house how many have been detained as prisoners in their own country? Can she tell the house how many have been denied health under the National Health Service? How many have been denied pensions? How many have lost their job?

This is a day of national shame, and it has come about because of a hostile environment policy that was begun under her Prime Minister.

Let us call it like it is. If you lie down with dogs, you get fleas and that is what has happened with this far-right rhetoric in this country. Can she apologise properly? Can she explain how quickly this team will act to ensure that the thousands of British men and women, denied their rights in this country under her watch in the home office are satisfied.
